I made it through 3 weeks of Alpha, and had to stop and switch to some different workouts. It was starting to make the arches of my feet hurt, and it was beginning to be hard on my ankles. :( I figured I better give my joints a rest before I made them worse. I do like the workouts though and feel like it tightened me up!…

Same problem here. I hurt mine from running as well, so I've been walking lately. It's really frustrating to not be able to get the same high calorie burn as before.

I make this one a lot, but I sort of guess at the measurements so here's a close approximation. Cook about a cup and a half of lentils and a cup of green split peas. I usually add a couple scoops of vegetable broth to the water. Boil it in just enough water so that there's not a lot left over. Add 1 pkg of frozen spinach…

Thanks guys! Yep, registration is open for awhile. I'll see how it goes and then make my decision.

Also, Oatmeal!! Very versatile, healthy, cheap and microwaveable.

I love making healthy tuna salad. I use chunk light tuna, plain fat free greek yogurt, peas, chopped up carrots, dill pickle relish, mustard and some season salt and garlic salt. It would also be good with onions, peppers, celery, etc, and it has very few calories. You could do the same thing with chicken or egg salad. Put…

Ok, so Im back from my trip, but I have another one Friday-Saturday. So the plan is to do some Turbo fire or Zumba for the rest of this week and start over from day 1 with Insanity next week!

Day 3 complete. I am ridiculously sore, but luckily tomorrow's recovery should give my muscles a bit of a break. I'm going to miss Saturday, Monday and Tuesday's workout because I'm going on a trip to the jungle! (I'm studying abroad in Peru right now), but then I'll just jump back in on wednesday. Congrats Leenites!…

Day 2 done! Definitely had to take a lot of rests, but I was pushing myself hard, so I hope I'll be able to see some improvement when that next fit test comes around! Also, I think I sweated out half my body weight, haha.

Finished day 1. My legs are still shaky! But we did it ladies! Let's go hard tomorrow!

I just bought it today! I would love to start it with you! It will definitely keep me motivated to stay on track if I'm doing it with someone on MFP.

I don't really tell people either, but it's due to a variety of reasons. It makes me sad to say this, because it shows the world that we live in, but one of the biggest reasons that I don't want to say anything to a few of my closest girlfriends is that they have body issues too, and I almost feel like they would want me…

kirstinkrueger - Thanks! There's a lot of yummy looking recipes! (especially the desserts!) PuzzleGirl65 - I know! And a tribute to oatmeal! (my kinda lady)

Gemfox - I know how you feel! I've been really bad lately too about not being able to resist those little temptations! There's a couple things I try to tell myself when I start to slip into a could-care-less attitude about food: "I've done much harder things in my life than say no to a cookie" (I got that one from someone…

Hey guys! I'd love to be part of this group. At the beginning of this year I started MFP and was doing really good with it for about 3 or 4 months, steadily losing, and then I just kind of lost motivation. But I'm hoping to get it back and I think this will help! Here are my goals: SW: 156 CW: 147 GW by Aug 7th (when I…

Soak some cuke slices chopped white onions in vinegar for a few hours, then drain them and add sour cream to coat them. Sprinkle with dill and salt and pepper. OR Cucumber water. I don't know why, but it's soooo good. Just slice up cukes and put them in a pitcher of water and put it in the fridge. So refreshing! OR Put…

OOH can I please still get in on this challenge?? My starting weight is 148 and my goal weight is 140

Had a good day today! Drank lots of water, stayed under cals, and got a nice workout in. Hope I can keep it up this week!

Hey! I'd love to join! My goals this week are: 1: Exercise every day for at least 20 min. 2: No meal/snack should be over 400 cals (I've been having some trouble with overeating lately) 3: 9 cups of water/day 4: Stay under cals every day 5: Log everything!

Ooh! I'm in! Snacks always get me, so that will definitely motivate me not to munch on bad stuff. But I think I'll go for fruits/veggies. Thanks for posting this challenge!

They do have fat free no sugar added ice cream, too. It's only 90 cals for 1/2 cup. It doesn't taste the greatest alone, but I get the vanilla and then break up some chocolate animal crackers in it, add a little fat free cool whip, and a splash of milk (i use soy) and it tastes like an oreo blizzard :)

sounds delicious!

bump, i'm going to try one this summer too

Great job Cassie! You're a stronger person than me! haha I've decided to change my weight loss goal to 1/2 lb a week. I feel like that's just going to fit my lifestyle better right now. Of course, I'l definitely still try to stay under calories when I can, it's just a nice reminder that even if I'm going over my previous…

Hey guys, Just checking in. I've had some cheat days the last couple days, but I'm gonna get back on track today. Looks like you all have been doing great! Keep it up!

Thanks for the comments guys! I honestly thought about this group when I got up this morning and made myself go jogging before class. Seeing how great you all are doing really motivates me to get my butt in gear! :) I went out for Mexican again tonight. The waiter that we're friends with "accidentally" brought me a 3rd…
